Hair line crack in mesa tactical stock?

[Guest tdoccrossvilletn]

Does this look like a crack in the adapter for the mesa tactical stock I just bought? This is the one for the Leo stock. I think it looks bad ass and I plan on shooting it tomorrow. I want to compare the enidine hydraulic recoil reduction to that of the black hawk Knoxx stock.

Hair line crack?

Looks like a crack to me.

looks like a crack to me as well. 

[peejman]

Me too. Typical spot for it to crack.

[MacGyver]

That's a crack.  Frankly, I'd call it a design flaw.  There's sure not a lot of material attaching that grip - especially for something as hard recoiling as a 12 gauge.

Y'all reckon it will hold?

Nope.

How long before it snaps off completely depends on the extent of the crack, and you'll have to take it apart to determine that. It could likely be fixed with the right kind of epoxy and/or some fiberglass.

I plan on doing that later today. Surely they have some kind of warranty. This things only a couple months old.

If you think its a flaw in the finish, get some fine sandpaper and polish it a bit. If it goes away, great. If not, it's a crack.

Don't do anything else to it.  Contact Mesa like Dolomite said and they will take care of you

Good advice.  I can't tell from the picture, and a light sanding is a good, quick way to know for sure. 

 

FYI, Mesa tactical has an excellent reputation for quality and customer service, they'll probably make it right.

Update:

I called mesa tactical. They said they have a lifetime warranty on their products and gave me an rma to send it back on my dime. So that's what i'm going to do.

Why would the quote by TGO Actual have anything to do with this post? It is a stock, not a gun that is being sent in.

 

Also, just so you know repairs on firearms are totally different than the sale of a firearm. You can ship a firearm directly to a manufacturer and they will ship it directly back, even a replacement gun with a different serial number, to you without going through a FFL. And finally, any sale of any firearm within the border of Tennessee doesn't require an FFL transfer. I have sold, and mailed, firearms to people here in the state after verifying their residency without using an FFL and it is perfectly legal.

You were the "someone" who posted it here, not someone else. No one else posted it then edited it out. Just you quoting something from 6 years ago.

I certainly found both the post and the follow together very strange indeed, so I hear the theme song myself.
